Description

Cedar is light, quick and already open the day it leaves the bench — there is no waiting period. It compresses when you drive it hard, which is exactly why fingerstyle players keep asking for it and why we will talk you out of it if you play with a heavy pick.

An A-frame upper brace stiffens the region either side of the fingerboard extension, which keeps the neck angle stable on a top this responsive. Satin finish, sprayed thinner than our gloss, because on a cedar top every extra thousandth of an inch is audible.
